The Fields Institute

Scheduled as part of Thematic Program on Operator Algebras and Applications

In this workshop we will study infinite-type surfaces and their mapping class groups from several perspectives. Each participant will be asked to either give a lecture or run a problem session.

This conference will bring together communities working on two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory (CFT) from different perspectives, some of which have had only limited interactions so far. We are thinking here specifically of the communities working on the probabilistic approach to CFT, the algebraic & geometric approach to CFT, the operator algebraic approach to CFT, and the theoretical physics approach to 2d CFT.

This school intends to present various developments in Riemannian and Kähler geometry around the notion of curvature seen as a tool to describe and understand the geometry of the objects. Each week of the session will have a different flavor, but similar problems and methods will be emphasized, and we expect this will lead to fruitful interactions. Our main target audience is young mathematicians, particularly graduate students and early-career researchers. We expect the school to give them the opportunity to learn key ideas and techniques of the field, with an emphasis on solidifying foundations in view of potential future research. Consequently, junior women mathematicians and those from under-represented minority groups will be given priority for financial assistance. We aim for 100 participants including at least 60 young researchers (PhD students, postdoc fellows). Moreover, the school will also feature problem sessions provided by lecturers and selected talks by young researchers.

The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

This intensive graduate school will cover topics central to the Workshop on Homotopy Theory the following week. This school is designed to give graduate students and early career researchers in related fields a better understanding of each subject, thus enabling the participants to better engage in the subsequent workshop.

Homotopy theory is in the midst of a renaissance as its usefulness in other areas of mathematics is becoming increasingly recognised. From polyhedral products in geometric group theory, to combinatorial methods in group theory, to topological properties of manifolds and spaces of embeddings, to Morava K-theory in symplectic geometry, to simplicial methods in topological data analysis, to a host of applications in mathematical physics - and these name only a few areas of interaction - homotopy theory over the past ten to fifteen years has significantly extended its reach. This program will assemble a wide range of leading experts to discuss the state of the art in current research, both in terms of core fundamental problems and crossover to other areas, and explore exciting new directions.

The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

This workshop will accelerate development of new directions in chromatic and unstable homotopy theory and in the homotopy theory of polyhedral products. Key will be the exploration of areas of interaction: unstable homotopy theory and polyhedral products have substantial existing intersection while recent developments in chromatic homotopy theory suggest exciting new intersections with unstable homotopy theory and polyhedral products.

The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

Group theory and topology have a long and rich history of interaction. This workshop will bring together experts working on different aspects of this interaction in order to share ideas and boost the development of new methods that can be applied to the topology of configuration spaces, braid groups, mapping class groups and manifolds, and spaces of commuting elements.
